Abstract
The system for bibliographic information in Wikipedia and other wiki-properties is currently done in an ad-hoc fashion, yet relationships between these sources and their various usages is difficult to find and confirm. It is from these references and citations to articles in a wiki which many people use as metrics for accuracy and trust in wiki properties. Quite Simply, the less connections to diverse source, the less trust users have to content wiki content.

Wikibiblio is a community-based web system for editing references and citations which any site on the web may link to, users may contribute to, and copyright status is determined. The strength of Wikibiblio is that is globally focused on international copyright law, local jurisdiction copyright law, and inter-relationship.

For this special announcement of this new project, the basics of the system will be unveiled as well as pointers to how others may get involved with contributing and developing the system.
